I need to count number of weeks in a fiscal year starting with Oct 1. My fiscal year goes from Oct 1st to September 30th.
When I apply:
ATTR(datepart('week',[Generation Date]))
It counts the weeks, but it starts in January. My data properties and default properties are set to October.
Instead of using inbuild week function you can create your own week number by just calculating date difference from fiscal year starting and then dividing by 7 then just take the next possible integer to get your week.
Let me know if you need exact formula
You should filter the dates by adding conditions using IF in a calculated field. In your case something like this if your fiscal year is fixed from Oct 1st to September 30th:
Write the following Formula in a Calculated field:
IF ([Generation Date] >= #01-10-2017#) AND [Generation Date] <= #30-09-2018#)
THEN [Generation Date]
END
Now use this calculated field the way you were using it before:
ATTR(DATEPART('week',[Calculated field]))

I am trying to get week numbers ( resetting at 1 for each month) as per ISO format for each month in 2019.For example I am interested in getting
All dates in July 2019: week 1 to 4,
All dates in Aug 2019 : week 1 to 4 and so on.
I first created the calculated field (Week_Number_ISO) to get the overall week number in year 2019.I used the following formula;
DATEPART('iso-week',[ Date]) which works as intended.
To get the monthly week number I used the following formula
INT((DATEPART('day',[Created Date])-DATEPART('iso-weekday',[Created Date])+7)/7)+1.
(Idea was to calculate the date of the first day of each week & then divide by 7 and take the integer part)
As per the ISO format, shouldn't July 29 to 31st be a part of week 4 for July?But the formula is showing it as week 5 for July 2019.I feel I am missing something in the formula or am missing something about ISO week number resetting at 1 for each month.
Can someone help me?
Here is an example of the dates in July 2019 and the associated week numbers.
Why would July 28th-July 31st 2019 be considered week 4?
I have a data set spanning 2 years and is updated daily, created a dashboard to give a view of incidents by date group. I have created a parameter using date trunc for Day/Week/Month/Quarter/Year. This is in Tableau.
I am trying to get the parameter to show a Week to date, Month to date and so on view. IE if on Weds 15th Dec I selected the weekly view, it would only show data for every week in the data set for Sat-Weds (My weeks go Sat-Fri) or the monthly view every month between 1st-15th
Ideally I am wanting this as a simple parameter for a drop down menu, I can do the week to date stuff as a rolling sum restarting every week in a separate table, but for ease I just need a date group function that will allow to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers

The solution is 5 parts:
Date Part Parameter
Max date [Max Date]
Dynamic date part of the Max date [Dynamic Date Part Max]
Dynamic date part of the historical dates [Dynamic Date Part]
Filter those date parts <= the Max date [Dynamic Date - Lass than Max]
Date Part Parameter
Max Date
This is the calculation you'd use with your dataset to find the max date.
{ MAX([Order Date]) }
In order to create a good example, I'm going to set my Max date to a specific date the falls in the middle of a week, in the middle of a month and middle of the year. I'm going use June 13th, 2018 as my Max Date.
So, if you want to follow along you can use the below date as your max date. You can also use this data set if you'd like.
DATE(#2018-06-13#)
Dynamic date part of the Max date
DATEPART([Select Date Part], [Max Date])
Dynamic date part of the Historical dates
DATEPART([Select Date Part], [Order Date])
Filter on Historical dates parts <= the Max Date
[Dynamic Date Part] <= [Dynamic Date Part Max]
Now that we have all the pieces we need let's check to make sure they are working as we would expect.
Looks like we're seeing all the days of the month that are <= the 13th.
When we change it to Day of the Week we see only the days of the week <= the 4th day of the week which is Wednesday when the week starts on Saturday.
Now let's calculate the running sum of sales along our dynamic date part to better help you with your example.
Drag the measure you want to calculate the running sum onto the label, then create a quick table calculation. We'll next need to edit this table calculation as so.
You'll then see your calculation working as you would expect.
Hope this was helpful. Happy vizzing!
I am trying to compare yesterday's data to the same day the year before. For example, yesterday is 11 November 2018. I want to compare to 12 November 2017 (same day but the year before). I am wanting this to be applied automatically on the filter so all I need to do is open the file and verify the numbers are correct before sending off the report.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
There are many Tableau functions that manipulate dates. A couple in particular are relevant to your problem:
Today() - returns the current date
DateAdd() - adds or subtracts an interval from a date. For instance, DateAdd('year', Today(), -1) gives the date one year prior to today. The first argument to DateAdd is the level of granularity or date part.
DateDiff() - determines the difference of the interval between two dates. DateDiff('day', [Start Date], [End Date]) returns the number of days separating the two date arguments.
The functions are well documented in the online help. Construct the formulas you need and filter accordingly.
Isolate yesterday's date as its own field. For instance if that is the max date in your data, then {max([Date])} would create an LOD of the maximum date.
Then make a calculation that will display the same date last year:
year([Date]) = year([max_date])-1
and datepart('week',[Date]) = datepart('week',[max_date])
and datepart('weekday',[Date]) = datepart('weekday',[max_date])
I have a condition here in which I will have total experience in terms of month and year. For example, two drop down will be there for asking total number of experience in month and year. So if I am working from 1 Jan 2012, then I will write total experience as 3 year and 11 months. Now I have to convert this 3 year and 11 months into date format so that I can save this into database
You could use java.util.Calendar:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, month);
calendar.add(Calendar.YEAR, year);
Date date = calendar.getTime();
As a word of caution, the day field would be set to today's date. Check the intended behaviour if the current day is outside of the bounds for the target month. For example, setting the month to February when calendar has a day field of 30. It might be wise to set the day to a known, valid value for every month (eg: 1) before setting the month and year.
Use DATE_SUB() function:
Try this:
SELECT DATE_SUB(DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 3 YEAR), INTERVAL 11 MONTH);
You can use mysql's date_sub() function or <date> - interval <expression> unit syntax to subtract an interval from a date.
select date_sub(curdate(),interval '3-11' YEAR_MONTH) as start_date
UPDATE:
Following the conversation between the OP and #eggyal, the OP need to replace the period in the incoming data with - and construct an insert statement as follows:
insert into mytable (...,join_date,...) values (...,date_sub(curdate(),interval '3-11' YEAR_MONTH),...)
I have a report I am trying to modify in Crystal. It has a data field that has a formula in it, but I want to use another formula.
This is an example of what I am trying to do.
[((# Days in January) – 15) x (Market Rent/(# Days in January))]
+ [((# Days in February) – 0) x (Market Rent/(# Days in February))]
+ [14 x (Market Rent/(# Days in March))]
I have ADO commands built out for the market rent, and a start date and end date. The months in my example are just that an example. I am not sure how to take my ADO command dates that are entered in on a filter page, and put them in a formula like the one above. Any ideas?
Also, in the first and last para. the -15 and the 14 are for a date in the middle of the month. So if the start date was on the 15th of Jan, and the End date was the 15th of march. This formula would calculate my loss of rent during vacancy.
If I'm reading your question correctly, you want to take a date field and find out how to measure the number of days in that month, the month before it, and the month after it. Here's some Crystal formulas to help you out. Let's assume your date field is called {#DateFld}:
To find the number of days in a particular month relative to a particular date, try this:
local datevar X:=cdate(dateadd("m",0,{#DateFld}));
datediff(
"d",
date(year(X),month(X),1),
date(year(X),month(X)+1,1)
)
I recommend you copy & paste this in 3 different formulas:
- In the 1st formula, replace the "0" with a -1 to get the number of days in the previous month.
- In the 2nd formula, don't change anything. That'll get you the number of days in the current month (i.e. the month that {#DateFld} is in)
- In the 3rd formula, replace the "0" with a +1 to get the number of days in the next month.
For example, if {#DateFld} is March 10th, 2011, the 1st formula will give you 28, the 2nd will give you 31, and the 3rd will give you 30.
